Ten Fire and Rescue Services personnel, including District Fire Officer Ramasamy and Tiruvannamalai Station Fire Officer J.Samalavannan, have been transferred. This is viewed as a result of last week’s suicide attempt by a fireman belonging to Tiruvannamalai fire station citing ‘official torture.’
While Mr.Ramasamy has been transferred to Nagapattinam district, Mr.Samalavannan has been transferred to Dharmapuri.
Fireman Manikandan, who attempted suicide, has been transferred to Pallippattu in Tiruvallur district. Seven other personnel of different ranks have been transferred to different places in various districts.
